Where I Stand

(The above video is just the song, the lyrics are below.)

Twila Paris has to be one of my favorite singers. Her songs always seem to be saying what I can't find the words to say.

This song I Will Listen is one of my many favorites. The first time I heard this song (after many years) the part that stuck out to me most was, But I've already made my choice, and this is where I stand until He moves me on. 

I have walked so many days that have felt just like this song. When there's nothing to see, this is where I stand. When nothing is clear, this is where I stand. When I have more questions than answers, this is where I stand. When words can't express the ache in my heart, this is where I stand. 

Why? Because I've already made my choice. I can't imagine what the future holds, but I know who holds it. 

If you find yourself in this place today, don't lose heart. You are not standing alone. You made your choice not for anything you could understand, but because you know He is faithful.

I Will Listen

By Twila Paris

from the album Where I Stand

Hard as it seems

Standing in dreams

Where is the dreamer now

Wonder if I

Wanted to try

Would I remember how

I don't know the way to go from here

But I know that I have made my choice

And this is where I stand

Until He moves me on

And I will listen to His voice

This is the faith

Patience to wait

When there is nothing clear

Nothing to see

Still we believe

Jesus is very near

I can not imagine what will come

But I've already made my choice

And this is where I stand 

Until He moves me on

And I will listen to His voice

Could it be that He is only waiting there to see

If I will learn to love the dreams

that He has dreamed for me

Can't imagine what the future holds

But I've already made my choice

And this where I stand

Until He moves me on

And I will listen to His voice
